Corner piece and corner stalk connection
 
looks like a mix of the best of the f2, the alpha v, and the dayan cubes. Looks like a little to much of the lockyness from the av though lol. You know the four holes you see on dayan cubes when you look at a side? You only have that part on the centerpieces. They did the same with the alpha v feng and it locks a ton. Make it so the corners and edges have their fair share of the holes too :P

I was thinking the same thing while I was going through the tread (about it being an AV/F2/Dayan.)

I was wondering what the actual size of the cube altogether would be (in millimeters). if it's too big to too small it might be hard to handle. Dollar store cubes are normally very out of proportion. I suggest around 55mm which is about average size.

I think 56mm would be the best size... although maybe a 54mm and 56mm? (For OH and 2H)
 
This is really interesting...I'm gonna reread all of these posts and give some input as well...not sure how helpful it is coming from a guy who only averages 14's...but it's better than nothing I guess :)...I'll post a little later tonight or tomorrow morning

funny you mentioned that
I noticed that when I was first designing the cube but there is nothing I can do about that as if I chamfered (made the holes bigger) it would decrease the contact between the pieces too much

thanks for the suggestion though, I will try to incorporate the rest of your suggestions though :)

PS
1. can somebody suggest a good name and brand name for the cube :)
2. does anybody have auto desk inventor because I could send you the parts to inspect
3. i just found out that the 3d printer uses resin but i looked at some other prints and they felt like really hard rough plastic :( not going to be good

2. I have auto desk inventor and I would be interested in seeing the parts.
3. What 3d printer are you using? The Only one I know (shapeways) has many materials.

im not sure what type of printer it is but it definitly prints resin

honestly though, i think I might retract statement no. 2 (i'm kinda possesive) :). I want to send the parts only to those who are going to manufacture it :) sorry

If you want you could request angles for me to show you though

idk if this fits the thread but i had 2 ideas for twisty puzzles in my head for a while.

1) there are certain plastics that sweat at room temperature. it would mean self lubrication.
2) what about teflon coated cubes? with lube of course.

If the plastic "sweats" at room temperature, then you are going to have a cube that is lubricated all around, between the stickers, lube all over your fingers, etc. Doesn't seem that cool of an idea to me.
@OP are you actually going to try to produce this? I mean, this requires a lot of money to get started. I just don't see it happening unless you have a lot of financial support from several people.
